S100A1: a major player in cardiovascular performance.
Calcium cycling is a major determinant of cardiac function. S100A1 is the most abundant member of the calcium-binding S100 protein family in myocardial tissue. S100A1 interacts with a variety of calcium regulatory proteins such as SERCA2a, ryanodine receptors, L-type calcium channels and Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchangers, thus enhancing calcium cycling. Aside from this major function, S100A1 has an impor...
متن کاملP171: Microglia Cell, Major Player in the Central Nervous System Inflammation
Inflammation, a self-defensive reaction against various pathogenic stimuli, may become harmful self-damaging process. Increasing evidence has linked chronic inflammation to a number of neurodegenerative disorders including alzheimer's disease (AD), parkinson's disease (PD), and multiple sclerosis (MS). In the central nervous system, microglia, the resident innate immune cells play major role in...
متن کاملEpicardial fat thickness and cardiovascular involvements.
Dear Editor, We have read the article ” Epicardial fat thickness(EFT) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis” written by Erdem et al. with a great interest.1 The authors aimed to explain the relationship between epicardial fat thickness and clinical and echocardiographic parameters in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. They concluded that EFT as an indicator of cardiovascular involvement was hi...
متن کاملHyperuricaemia in Cardiovascular Diseases: A Passive or an Active Player?
dysfunction have been related to hyperuricaemia [5, 6] . In diabetic patients, elevated SUA levels were linked to both microand macrovascular complications [7] . These associations confound the relationship of SUA with CV risk, making it difficult to isolate the contribution of SUA. Large numbers of individuals are needed to help compensate for this limitation, using multivariate analyses or se...
متن کاملQuantification of epicardial fat volume using cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging
Background A growing body of data has demonstrated a direct relationship between epicardial fat volume(EFV) and cardiovascular diseases. In fact, EFV has been shown to be an independent predictor of coronary atherosclerosis and atrial fibrillation. Currently, there is no standard protocol for assessing EFV using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR). Quantification of peri-ventricular EFV ut...
